Very good Doubles! Busy restaurant. You order and pick up your food at the front and can sit at any of the many tables. There is no table service.

Been coming here lately. My sister in law put me on to this place. Authentic Guyanese/Caribbean food you'll love it. I've had their doubles, aloo curry with rice, pholourie, pepper roti, buss up roti, gulab jamun & it's all been great. The gulab jamun didn't have much syrup so they were a bit dry but still tasty. They give you great quantities of food & you get your money's worth. There is plenty of street parking outside if you're driving here & plenty of tables to comfortably sit & dine-in. Restaurant & bathrooms are clean. I highly recommend this place.

I've been going to this place for 15+ years and they truly let me down. Yesterday I bought over 400+ dollars in food for an event this morning. I order Chinese chicken and before leaving I questioned why the food wasn't hot, the girl said it's not a problem just add it to the fridge when you get home. Just like she said we added to the fridge. We got up the next day and placed the pans in the oven. Let me say when we opened the Chinese chicken the stench of the chicken burned your hair in your nose, I thought it was me. My mom picked up the chicken and the thick slime covering the chicken was disgusting. We decided to go to call singh's and let me tell you the level of professionalism with their assistant manger and manager was disgusting. They basically told us that when the food leaves out there door bad, that's not their problem. So we have a pan of chicken that cost $125 that went bad in the fridge in 12 hours.

Very authentic Trinidadian cuisine. Servers behind the counter are very courteous as well. Goat roti needs more goat though. :)

If you can't handle even a hint of spice, this place is not for you. But if you can, this place is delicious! The staff was super friendly and patience while me and my husband went back and forth on what to pick. It was not easy, so many yummy choices., I am definitely going back and try each item. The containers are small but they p.a.c.k it, portions are generous. My husband got rice, curry shrimp and curry goat. I got chicken pilau, curry shrimp, small side of collard greens and salt fish. My only complaint about the pilau is the amount of smaller broken bones I had to fish out or bite on while chewing. One tiny piece did hurt my tooth, but it's not a huge deal, just be very careful. Parking is not easy on these streets, lots of double parking so beware being stuck actually parked and someone double parked next to you with no where to be found. Try the inner streets, it's worth the bit of a walk. The restaurant itself is a bit loud because it has a cute small bar on the side so I wouldn't sit there with younger children, but it's also spacious with ample seating if it's not busy. Enjoy!

Singhs is the last place I coming to. Back in d days it was a 5 star and now it's a 2 but I feel bad so I give it a 3. The doubles gone through. They jus reheat the Chana from the day before and the bara not hitting d same. Like they hire a bunch of Guyanese to good d food or what. 5 years ago this was the spot now this is the last option. Sad to say.

Just ordered from here for the first time and the food was amazing! Curry chicken with rice, stew chicken with rice, and fried rice/lo mein combo with BBQ chicken. It was all so flavorful and delicious!

Excellent doubles. I had a short trip to NYC two weeks and I love Trini food. Since my flight arrived late, I purchased some doubles at this restaurant near JFK. The $2 doubles were on point. I did take some back to Chicago.

Long line but we'll worth it, so good can't wait to go back and try more ! Accepts card
Reminds me of Trinidad and all the weight gained eating too many doubles! It's my go to spot when landing at JFK! My adventure into the City starts with a pick up here! Be aware, their spicy is LEGIT...sooo ask them to go light on the spicy if you typically are into a kick, just not a drop kick!

I smelled all the flavors in the kitchen as soon as I walked in the door on a late Sunday morning. The line was 30 minutes long, but it gave me time to decide what I wanted to order. There was so much to choose from because they have a smorgasbord of food and drink. They cook everything from curry duck to souse (cold, pickled pig feet) and BBQ pig tail, and they make exotic drinks, like sorrel, mauby and peanut punch. All food and drink are typically eaten in Trinidad and Tobago, where the owners are from, and everything in the shop is made fresh. I ordered one half a serving of curry duck; and one half, of curry goat with one serving each of Dhad Puri Roti and Sada Roti. Roti is unleavened flatbread that looks similar to and shares similar ingredients with a whole wheat tortilla. The major difference is that tortillas are made with lard; and roti, vegetable oil. Google "tortilla vs. roti" for more information. I dunk both Rotis in the meat filling with a smile on a my face. What a satisfying and tasty meal! Next time, I will have the delicious-looking Doubles. Judging from some of the previous Yelp reviews, I believe that this shop is regarded more for its Doubles than its Roti. Doubles is a small chickpea sandwich made from bara (fried flat dough), curried chickpeas and various condiment options, such as chutney, tamarind and coconut. There are desserts galore, and all are made in-house. Since I love anything coconut, I will perhaps order a coconut drop next time. It is made from shredded coconut, flour and raisins. Singh's Roti Shop is foodie heaven for Indo-Caribbean food connoisseurs. The cuisine is a fusion of Indian-South Asian, African, Chinese, Latin American and Portuguese foods. Singh's is regarded by many as the King of Roti. They certainly have made a name for themselves in Queens. Several video tours of this store are available on YouTube, introducing viewers to the chefs and bakers. It is prudent that you view these videos first before dining here if you are a virgin to Indo-Caribbean cuisine.

Their doubles are so good. The bread is so chewy and flavorful and the Chana chickpea filling is packed with flavor. For $2 it is a full meal and can't be beat. Just look at the lines

This place has become a staple for me when I'm in the area. Food is always fresh, service is efficient and staff mostly friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I have went here for years the staff is pleasant and the portions are worth it. I usually get the curry chickpea with spinach. You will def be full and they have plenty of options with decent prices I will continue to support them.
